The quality of teenagers'  leisure time is a hotly-debated topic that often divides opinions. Adults think that young people waste their time on such secondary things as watching TV and playing video games. I fully agree that with kinds of leisure time do not benefit people. Leisure activities should be productive and useful. 

The most obvious problem caused by abusing TV and video games is damage to health and psyche. I have noticed that teenagers spoil their eyesight and posture, become more shy and closed, they also lack intellectual development. Ultimately, it can affect their career and family. For instance, my neighbors' son is addicted to TV. As result, he has problems at school, lacks friends and communication.  This demonstrates that abusing TV and video games does harm. Teenagers should make a good use of their leisure time to do something useful and become successful in future.

In addition, it is important to do something productive in leisure time. I think it would be great to do a bit of sport, intellectual and relaxing activities. Doing sport we can keep our body trimmed, we become healthier, and our appearance becomes more attractive. Reading good literature develops us, makes us more interesting for other people. Our speech becomes smoother and richer. That can have a good influence on building relations with people.

To sum up, the best way to make a good use of leisure time is avoiding addictive activities and doing something productive.
